Congratulations!

I've been reading this guy's blog three times a week since 1999. So it's only fair that I get excited when he has a baby.

Craven sham that it is, typically the vile consortium of formula manufacturers and department store child photographers has already chosen the Baby of the Year by September, leaving their despicable agents to go on evil vacations or whatever it is they do. But there are times when a spoiler baby, or spiele-katzen, crops up round November or so, and a deep fracture forks up their trained facade.

Elliot Jacob Holkins is just such a baby.
